And Democrats don't have a super majority to break the filibuster! DUH!!!!

Its sixty votes to get bills passed in the Senate now. Once upon a time it was fifty with the Vice President breaking the tie. Now, its sixty. Republicans have filibustered every single thing, so it takes Sixty votes to break that and pass the bill. Dems just don't have the votes.



Once again, The Dems don't hold a majority in the Senate. With Senator Byrd's passing they hold fifty-six seats now. Fifty-six is NOT ENOUGH to get a bill passed anymore and therefore is NOT Majority. DUH!!! If it was enough then Wall Street Reform would have passed already! DUH!!!!

Sixty Seats is a majority. SIXTY!!! THE BIG '6' '0'!!! And a Super Majority is something like Sixty-Eight or Sixty Seven................heck, maybe even Sixty-Five.

Miller, the Dems still have a majority. FYI, there are only 100 Senators- two per state. If the Democrats have 56, more than half, then how do they not have a majority? Do explain.

The Dems no longer have 60 senators, which is the filibuster-proof super majority. DUH!!!

You talk loud and say nothing.

You are just an idiot. DUH. Truly. DUH. Beyond comprehension. DUH. You can use whatever definition for "majority" you want, but it doesn't change the meaning. DUH.

Majority: greater number of people or things: most of the people or things in a large group ( takes a singular or plural verb ) "The majority of women now work."

You're officially the stupidest member of this message board. It makes me smile that you're a Democrat, if you even know what that means. That is all.

No more words need to be wasted.

Do you acknowledge that up until as recently as January 2010 the Dems did hold 60 senate seats?
